Abstract
A bundling device which can wind and bundle a web of drug bags in such a way that patients can take their drugs in the right order with high reliability. The bundling device includes a winder unit having a rotary table provided along a feed path of a web of drug bags, a pair of protrusions provided on the rotary table near its circumference for hooking the tip of the web, and another pair of protrusions provided on the rotary table near its circumference, diametrically opposite the former protrusions, for winding the web as the rotary table rotates. When the rotary table rotates with the web engaged by the first pair of protrusions, the web is wound around the two pairs of protrusions.
